Police say a Mercer County married couple has been found dead in their home in an apparent murder-suicide.

A family member found Bruce and Glenda Noel Sunday night in their home near Harrodsburg.

Media reports say the couple's niece found them in their bedroom after going to check on them when a phone call ended abruptly. Coroner officials say both had a single gunshot wound to the head with Bruce Noel shooting his wife and then himself.

Funeral arrangements for the couple are still pending while investigators wait for autopsy results.
